"The most basic function of Purple Crystals is to convert them into one's strength! With so many Purple Crystals, why don't they quickly distribute them to the experts in the clan to absorb and keep them for numbers? Isn't that a strange thing? "
Li Chunbo was ashamed and speechless.
He agreed wholeheartedly with Mo Tianji's words. But … This was what the Li Clan did before this! They mined and collected Purple Crystals every day, but they only kept the Purple Crystals. In fact, only a very, very small portion of them were distributed to the experts in the clan.
Most of the rest were collected and hoarded … What was the point of hoarding them?
Just as Mo Tianji said, "You're just a pile of dead objects here!" If they were given to the experts in the clan and fully provided for their cultivation … If these Purple Crystals were really converted into the strength of the experts, how much less pressure would they be under today?
3.57 billion Purple Crystals was such a huge number. In terms of quantity alone, it was more than enough to pile up a thousand middle-grade Supreme Martial Artists. If the Li Clan really had a thousand middle-grade Supreme Martial Artists … Then wouldn't the Upper Three Heavens have long been swept away by the clan?!
"Sigh … Such a foolish move …" Mo Tianji looked up at the sky and sighed. "Now that the Li Clan is about to be destroyed, this huge wealth is going to fall into the pockets of others … Don't tell me that the Li Clan's ten thousand years of accumulation is just to help the enemy today?!"
"This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!"
Mo Tianji said fiercely, almost as if he was gnashing his teeth.
Li Chunbo was speechless. Every word that Mo Tian Ji said was extremely unpleasant to the ears, but every word he said was the truth! Thinking about the Li Clan's situation now, and then looking at the Purple Crystal hoard that was so huge that it was close to an astronomical figure, that could all be converted into the clan's own strength …
Mo Tianji was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth. Li Chunbo wanted to bang his head against the wall and die!
In fact, all the Super Clans did this. Purple Crystals were a rare resource. They were stored away for future use. They were only provided to the experts, but no clan had ever used all of these Purple Crystals.
Because they had to leave some backup plans — this was understandable. But for a clan like the Li Clan, which had accumulated billions of Purple Crystals, they were probably the only one in the entire continent, right?
"Elder Li … I wonder if you've been to the Purple Crystal hoard?" Mo Tianji said mockingly, "Those Purple Crystals underneath … perhaps they've already become moldy?"
Li Chunbo's face turned purple as he panted heavily.
After a very, very long time, Li Chunbo said somewhat helplessly in despair, "Could it be that we really can't give it a try? Is there no room for us to even try? "
When he said this, he was disappointed. Secondly, it was because the descendants of the clan were not living up to their expectations. They did not have the slightest sense of the big picture.
He was so short-sighted that he actually did such a stupid thing that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. And it was one of the great clans. Such a comical idiot is also one of the best in the world!
The clan that he had built with his own hands, the continuation of his bloodline, was about to be completely annihilated.
Three. There was clearly a chance to protect the future generations, but it was destroyed after the rise of hope. The strong impact from hope to despair made this old man seem as if he had aged a few hundred years in an instant. Right now, Li Chunbo no longer had the demeanor of a peerless expert. Right now, he was completely disheartened. He was an old man with no will to fight.
There was even a sense of boredom as if there was no joy in life.
Mo Tianji sighed inwardly and turned his head away. He said, "Elder Li, you have lived for more than ten thousand years. Even if you don't know much about arrays, you should know the saying that 'the slightest mistake can lead to a huge error'. This is especially true in the path of arrays. If I do as you say and force it, it will definitely be difficult for the array to be perfected. Not to mention 7,000 people, even if there are seven of them, they will be done for because of 'forcing it'."
"I will solemnly reiterate one last time. If we can obtain the Soul of the Purple Crystal now, I can use the things you have found to set up an array and protect a portion of the Li Clan's women and children, which is 7,000 of their bloodline. But if we don't have the Soul of the Purple Crystal as the eye of the array to suppress the array, it will be difficult for the array to be completed. Then, there will really be no hope!"
Li Chunbo exhaled softly. Right now, the old man's heart was filled with despair.
It was as if he wanted to do something with all his might. The hope of success was right in front of him, and he had already made all the preparations, yet he realized that he lacked a necessary item on the path to success. In the end, he could only give up halfway and let the hope leave him.
That kind of sorrow, that kind of helplessness!
The despair in Li Chunbo's heart could no longer be described with words.
In fact, even the flames of hope that had already started to burn in his eyes were gradually extinguished and dimming.
"Soul of the Purple Crystal?" A clear yet pleasant voice rang out. "Big Brother Mo, what do you need the Soul of the Purple Crystal for? I have it here. How many do you need? "
The owner of the clear and pleasant voice was naturally Chu Le 'er.
At this moment, Mo Tianji could clearly see that Li Chunbo's eyes suddenly lit up so brightly that one couldn't look straight at him!
Then, as if a sudden burst of vitality, this old man jumped up!
He jumped up and turned around, his face full of agitation and ecstasy!
Looking at Chu Le 'er, Li Chunbo's voice even trembled a little. "Miss Chu, where … where do you have the Soul of the Purple Crystal?"
From despair to hope, and hope to despair. But at the moment of complete despair, he had also completely grasped onto hope!
Even with Li Chunbo's composure, he was also almost on the verge of breaking down in agitation.
Chu Le 'er smiled and said, "That's right. Speaking of which, with my abilities, I can't contribute much in this battle. However, since I'm here, and it just so happens that you lack that thing, I have it. It's only right for me to help."
What was modesty? Was this modesty? She was the successor of the 'Poison Doctor', and yet she was modest about not being able to contribute much.
What was generosity? Was this generosity? It just so happens that you lack it, and I have it. I'm just lending a hand …
Li Chunbo took a deep breath. For a moment, he actually had a feeling of 'at the end of the road, there's a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel'. It was as if he had 'no chance of survival' but had 'narrowly escaped death'.
Mo Tianji asked, "How many do you have?"
Great Trickster Mo was not surprised that Chu Le 'er had a Soul of Purple Crystal. After all, she was Chu Yang's most beloved younger sister. How could she not have a Soul of Purple Crystal? What really surprised Mo Tian Ji was that this little girl would be so generous as to take it out.
What a kind and generous lady. Such a person is really the first person I've met in my life. If it were someone else, they might not even be willing to part with a piece of Purple Crystal, much less a rare treasure like the Soul of the Purple Crystal.
Chu Le 'er asked, "Let's not talk about how many I have first. How many do you want?"
What she said truly shocked both Mo Tianji and Li Chunbo. What did this little girl mean? Could it be that … I can provide as many as you want?
Li Chunbo couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. She was indeed the younger sister of the Tribulation Sword Master and the disciple of the Poison Doctor. She was really rich and imposing.
What did it mean to be rich and imposing? This was what it meant to be rich and imposing. After more than ten thousand years, the old man's horizons had been broadened yet again.
And it was on a little girl …
In that instant, Elder Ancestor Li felt as if he had lived for more than ten thousand years in vain … His foundation of ten thousand years couldn't even compare to that of a fourteen-year-old girl …
What this old man didn't know was that the Souls of the Purple Crystal that Chu Le 'er had and even most of Chu Yang's own Souls of the Purple Crystal were basically taken from the Li Clan … Now that he had only returned two or three pieces, it had instead become a huge favor …
Mo Tianji said, "If I had all the materials I needed to set up the array, then I would need at least five pieces of Souls of the Purple Crystal to suppress the array. But now, the total number of materials is less than one-third. Using two pieces of Souls of the Purple Crystal is already more than enough!"
Chu Le 'er said readily, "It's only two pieces. I was wondering how much more you'd need. Here, take it."
With a flip of her delicate hand, two pieces of Souls of the Purple Crystal with dense purple aura appeared in her palm!
Li Chunbo's lips started to tremble.
…
"Due to the limited effectiveness of the array, we can only protect 7,000 people! Elder Li, you must remember that 7,000 people can only be fewer and not more. Even one extra person may cause the array to collapse instantly. Once the array collapses, there is absolutely no possibility of repairing it! "
Mo Tianji said, "Elder Li, now that we have the Souls of the Purple Crystal, I will start to set up the array. As for you, hurry and make the arrangements too."
"Arrangements? What arrangements? Is there anything else that I need to prepare? " Li Chunbo was rather distracted. Given Old Man Li's experience, he shouldn't have asked such an unwise question. But the repeated great sorrow and joy, hope and despair really gave this old man a headache.
"Firstly, due to the limitations of the array, the number of people who can enter the array is very small. The Li Clan has to make a choice and decide which to protect and which not to protect. Secondly, while there is no need to worry about the safety of 7,000 people in the array, we still need to prepare food, drinks, and daily necessities. Since we are hiding and taking refuge, we will have to live in it for a long time and not come out for a relatively long time. Lastly, I must remind you that this matter should be treated as the top secret of the Li Clan at present. As for how to keep the secret to the greatest extent yet still be able to filter out the people, I believe you understand the key point! "
Mo Tianji said, "Once this matter is publicized, this only chance of survival will cause intense internal strife and disputes within the Li Clan … This is something that we must not be unaware of and guard against!"
Li Chunbo came to a realization right away. He jumped up and said, "I will make the arrangements right away. We must not allow any accidents to happen!"
"By the way, invite the ten Supreme Martial Artists over to help set up the array first! I don't need them to be of a high level, as long as they are absolutely trustworthy. " Mo Tianji said, "There are also certain environmental requirements for setting up this array. First of all, we need to remove all the accumulated snow … The snow in this lousy place of yours is thousands of feet deep …"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Chunbo had already agreed and walked off into the distance.
In the next two days, the Li Clan began to move intensely.
The remaining peaceful time was already very short. Mo Tianji supervised the entire process and started to set up the array.
A faint mysterious aura gathered in the sky above the Li Clan …
